À propos de cet audio
Based on the author's own vivid experiences, The Cruel Sea is the nail-biting story of the crew of HMS Compass Rose, a corvette assigned to protect convoys during World War II.
Darting back and forth across the icy North Atlantic, Compass Rose played a deadly cat-and-mouse game with packs of German U-boats lying in wait beneath the ocean waves. Packed with tension and vivid descriptions of agonizing U-boat hunts, this tale of the most bitter and chilling campaign of the war tells of ordinary men who had to master their own fears before they could face a brutal menace - one that would strike without warning from the deep.

D-Day, June 6, 1944, and the 76 days of bitter fighting in Normandy that followed the Allied landing, have become the defining episode of World War II in the west - the object of books, films, television series, and documentaries. Yet as familiar as it is, as James Holland makes clear in his definitive history, many parts of the OVERLORD campaign, as it was known, are still shrouded in myth and assumed knowledge.

Histoire
On July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed in the South Pacific by a Japanese submarine. An estimated 300 men were killed upon impact; close to 900 sailors were cast into the Pacific Ocean, where they remained undetected by the navy for nearly four days and nights. Battered by a savage sea, they struggled to stay alive, fighting off sharks, hypothermia, and dementia. By the time rescue arrived, all but 317 men had died. The captain's subsequent court-martial left many questions unanswered

One of the last cavalry units to ride horses into battle, the Sherwood Rangers were transformed into a “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. After winning acclaim in the North African campaign, they spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy and became the first British troops to cross into Germany. Their courage, skill, and tenacity contributed mightily to the surrender of Germany in 1945.

Histoire
During the third week of February 1944, the combined Allied air forces based in Britain and Italy launched their first round-the-clock bomber offensive against Germany. Their goal: to smash the main factories and production centers of the Luftwaffe while also drawing German planes into an aerial battle of attrition to neutralize the Luftwaffe as a fighting force prior to the cross-channel invasion, planned for a few months later. Officially called Operation ARGUMENT, this aerial offensive quickly became known as “Big Week,” and it was one of the turning-points of World War II.

Heros
This book relates the service and sacrifice of the captain and crews of British ships that guarded convoys and hunted submarines during the dark days of WW II. They battled the cruel sea and a dangerous enemy to keep the life line to Britain and Russia open, enduring massive gales, killing cold, and packs of Nazi submarines. This book reads with an authentically based upon the author’s own experiences. The narrative moves swiftly and convincingly through action so tense as to nullify time and accelerate the beat of the heart. One comes to know and empathize with many of the characters, and when some die one dies with them. Romantic interludes are handled gracefully and with a tact lacking in newer books. The language is appropriate and the naval descriptions are understandable. It is a gripping book that one does not want to end except for the longing to finish the war and the need to sail the very cruel sea. This book is at the pinnacle of action literature.

Still enthralling
I first read this book shortly after its publication when I was in grade 13,about 10 years after the war. I was fascinated then reading it in print, and wondering how the author evoked the feeling of actually being inside the book. I have re read the book over the years and found it still absorbing.
I have listened 2or3 times since receiving this edition and will probably do so again an enthralling story of people doing their best in the most challenging circumstances. I wish I knew of more books like this although a few come to mind.

A Masterpiece
I loved The Cruel Sea when I read it myself, but I loved it even more as read by Simon Vance. He brings such individuality to each character’s voice, and this book has a lot of characters. I’ve listened to this book twice now and got even more out of it the second time. It’s beautifully written and wonderfully read.
